Olivia Chawick, co-author of 17 RUNS: The Unbeaten Path to Unlock Life’s True Potential, joins Mark andasks how far out of your comfort zone are you willing to go to transform? Olivia Chadwick, a young mother and self-critical personal trainer, first met insurance magnat Garnet Morris at 6 a.m. on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick’s task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling, 100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his “uncoachability” as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and the ability to love.
